I'm using rotating media, and I have so far collected 4 bad sata cables hanging on a cabinet knob, all made of the exact shade of the infamous copper eating red plastic I've had trouble with for 40+ years. If your cables are red with a hint of magenta, give some other color of cable a try. The red ones? At 3 years old you can get any resistance you want on an ohmmeter, just flex them. >-- >To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" >in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org >More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html >Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
